Just a note in case it matters: you don't necessarily have to record and have the file be a WAB file as TR does allow for one to record in the MP3 format, although off the top of my head, I don't remember how you do it as it has been quite a while since I have messed with Total Recorder! Tapin Radio also will record audio streaming, but you probably already know this. Tom Kaufman

I don't set TR to do anything. When I launch it, JAWS announces, press the space bar to record, so I do, and end up with quite a good quality WAV file, of the show that I'm listening to. I just was not sure if I could be doing this job of recording better. In your message you advised that the BBC were broadcasting at 320 kbps and if I recorded any programme, then TR would simply grab it at the same quality. I often use Tap-in radio or the assessible bbc Iplayer to stream the show, but I'm thinking that perhaps you are telling me to record directly from Internet Explorer rather than Tap-in radio? Am I right? Or is it very much the same thing whither I stream through Tap-in radio, the Accessable BBC Iplayer or Internet explorer. Incidentaly, BBC radio 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are all termed "Global" stations, thus the 320 kbps. However, my favourate station is Radio Scotland, but this is considered as a Reginal station and only streamed at 128 kbps. So much for equality, where my national station is obviously inferiour to all the other "British" Broadcasting Company stations! Very best wishes. Andy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" <[email protected]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 4:47 AM Subject: Re: Bit rate settings with Total Recorder If you’ve set Total Recorder to capture a stream then the bit rate the stream is transmitted in will be captured. For example let’s suppose you’re recording BBC Music? They have a 320K stream so you would input this into Total Recorder directly rather than use Tapin Radio. Total recorder would capture the stream as is and thus save it to a file. You can set conditions and so on to control the name of that file and so on. > On 10 Jan 2017, at 7:38 am, Andy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all. > > I use Tap-in Radio to listen, for example, to a BBC 6 Music show, and > total recorder professional to record the show. > > BBC 6 music is broadcast at a very high bit rate and I was wondering if > perhaps I'm capturing it at it's best. > > I have had a look within Total Recorder settings to see if perchance there > was a box for adjusting the quality or bit rate of recording, but I cannot > find it. > > Anyone know how I can ensure that I'm recording at the very best posible > quality available to me. > > Thanks in advance. > > Very best wishes. > > Andy. > > From Scotland with Love. > ********** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
